No coa? The print looks odd. The heart is too red and too close to the edge of the paper (unless hidden behind a mount). At least compared to a few genuine copies. Not an expert though, I'm sure several people on here have more insight. Would never buy without coa from pestcontrol.

if you compare the image to a genuine version, it does really seem that this is a fake. I'm no expert for sure but I wouldn't be buying this, if it were me.

I don't agree with the heart positioning, if you compare it to any Love rat the position in relation to the rat is correct. Paper could well have been cut down, or behind the mount. Type of paper looks right to me also.

I'm not an expert tho.

Concern is lack of COA imo, and I wouldn't buy it without one.

Judging by the price and that it has no COA it's fake, but I don't think anyone here can tell without seeing it in person. The images are not high res enough.  And the strange placement of the image on the paper can be due to it being matted so that you don't see the paper edges. I'm not accusing anyone, but people can have their own agenda, saying it's fake and then buying themselves.

Not an expert, but they seem to appear the same, from a photo I made at an Banksy exibition in Genova, maybe both fake?

Edit: the one in exibition (my photo) is numbered on the left.

Is a fake rat fake numbered

I really appreciate your contributions. Thank you. I emailed the auction house for more informations, no response.

Fake because it's missing all the paintbrush detail in the heart.

Auction image on left. Authentic on right.

That finer detail could be blocked mesh ? Screens get clogged up ?

Good spot. I’ve checked several images of authentic prints and the brush stroke effect is there in all of them. Case closed.
